I am getting some weird errors I've never seen after MANY installations of
mandrake linux. When booting up the installer from CDROM I get a message
that says "cannot mount root fs, please specify "root=" option". It then
kernel panics and says cannot mouint root filesystem. I have one hard drive
with two partitions and the CDROM and thats it. I've tried

linux root=/dev/hda2 - The partition I want to install on. Unformated
linux root=/dev/hda1 - The partition I currently have win2k on.
linux root=/dev/hdb - The ISO CDROM


Thats the only partitions and drives I have? I have set up many machines in
the same fashion with version 6.X-7.X with no problems. I never even get to
the language selection screen.

Tried text mode, expert mode, etc. No luck. Any clues?
